Chapter 55: Sending Supplies and Encountering an Earthquake,
and haven't had a chance."Of course Mo Zhengning wouldn't say that he learned about the gossip surrounding his younger brother and the other person because he accidentally overheard it in the courtyar...As soon as she arrived at her destination, Nguyen Nhuong got off the bus. Looking at the bustling crowd, she didn't know what to do.
The person being rescued didn't want to be disturbed, thankfully she saw a man in a suit and hurried over to ask him.
"Hey! Hello there! I'm here to deliver some supplies. Could you tell me where it would be most convenient to unload the stuff from the truck"
Zhao Yuan was originally anxious to go and report to his leader, but he didn't expect to be stopped and had to stop.
Looking at Ruan's delicate face and then noticing the camera on him, I thought he was another star here to show off. My temper immediately flared.
"Go find the staff inside the yellow tent. I'm busy, no time to play pretend with you stars!" He said that and then ran off.
Ruan softened was suddenly taken aback by the other party's words and for a moment, he couldn't react.
I'm not a star! I'm not here to act.
Just as I was about to retort, seeing the other person's busy back, I decided against it. I walked towards the yellow tent where the other person was.
"Are you the one who is delivering supplies"
Before Ruann could even speak, the worker who was busy taking inventory spoke up first, his tone calm.
"Yes, currently there are three small trucks that have arrived. Where would it be convenient to unload them"
Ruan was so soft-spoken that she didn't care about the other person's attitude. She directly asked, "She still has to find the boss and his wife's family. There's no time to waste on material things."
"Just drive the car to the back of the tent, how much do you plan to sell it for"
The other party didn't even raise their head, and asked in a somewhat sarcastic tone.
This question made Ruan Soft completely bewildered. Did he get it wrong
I'm donating, not selling. Besides, how desperate would you have to be to sell things in a disaster zone
This isn't squandering national resources, is it Aren't you afraid of retribution
"These are all voluntary donations to the disaster areas, no money involved." Ruan Rou quickly said.
As soon as these words were spoken, the workers clearing things paused in their actions, straightened up, and looked at Ruan Rou again with expressions of surprise.
What is it about Do we need to do anything to cooperate
Ruanruan didn't know why the other party was asking these questions, but she still answered.
It's just some tents, instant food, hand warmers, blankets, and things like that. There are also some medical kits, but they might not be very many.
"Then, could you please send some people to help unload the things It's getting late, and I'm worried the driver won't be safe going back."
The staff member, upon hearing Ruan Soft's words, revealed the first smile they had shown since arriving there that day.
"Thank you! Thank you! These things arrived just in time! I thank you for your donation on behalf of the people affected by the disaster."
"I'm so sorry about that! My attitude was a bit off. The reason is that several small celebrities came today, using the excuse of donating supplies to take pictures here for attention."
"At first, we cooperated because we thought they were also donating things. But unexpectedly, they still wanted to collect money from disaster victims."
"Actually, there are some donations, but they're all mineral water. I just thought you were like them too. Sorry about that."
Having heard the other party's explanation, Ruan Rou finally understood what the man in the suit had meant. She shook her head and said,
"No problem, I'll have the truck come over and we can unload it together. Then you can take a look and see what else you need, and I'll have them bring it over."
Without waiting for a reply, he walked out of the tent and ran to three small trucks not far away. He pointed with his finger while explaining something to the drivers.
Several people were pulled over to help unload. As more and more things piled up on the ground, smiles spread across the workers' faces.
"Thank you so much! These things came just in time!"
The staff, looking at the scattered heating supplies and instant meals on the ground, eyes red with emotion, directly bowed deeply to Ruan Soft.
"I'm not worthy to be helped," Ruan said hurriedly, reaching out. "You who are on the front line are even more deserving of our respect!"
"Then, thinking of something else, he continued, “There might be a few more trucks of supplies coming later. It might not arrive until tomorrow afternoon or the day after tomorrow morning. I'll give you my phone number, and when it arrives, you'll have to help me out again.”
The staff was taken aback by Ruan's soft words, "There are still a few more cars" These three cars alone would cost a pretty penny, with a few more, it would be even more.
Suddenly, I was even more touched. Looking at Ruan Soft's beautiful face, I was so excited that I grabbed her hand and patted it a few times forcefully.
"OK, OK, OK, thank you so much! You've been so generous. I'll report this to my leader and get you a pennant and a certificate!"
Ruan softened and smiled, nodding slightly without refusing. Although she didn't donate so many supplies for anything in return, the feeling of being acknowledged and praised in this situation wasn't bad at all.
Soon all the supplies were cleared away, and Ruan Rou sent off three drivers.
With that large backpack on her back, she was headed to the relief station. She wanted to see if the restaurant owner and his wife's family were there.
After visiting several tents and asking many people, Ruan softened decided to go to the volunteer team to ask.
But before Ru'an could reach the volunteer's tent, the ground began to tremble.
The soldiers who were still rescuing people from the rubble shouted loudly, telling everyone to go to an open area.
Ruan softened followed a few steps, then Yuanbao's somewhat anxious voice echoed in her mind.
"My dear host, the person in need is at Congshan Elementary School in Congshan Er Village, several kilometers from the county town. Just now, there was another earthquake over there."
"The restaurant owner and his wife's children were both trapped underneath, the situation wasn't good."
Ruan's running footsteps came to a halt, and she spoke in her mind.
"Aren't they supposed to be fine Why are things bad now"
According to the system's calculation, the earthquake that just happened should have occurred five hours later.
At that time, the host should have already taken them to a safe place, but for some reason, the earthquake happened earlier than expected.
A trace of regret and confusion lingered in Yuanbao's voice.
I have the highest-level algorithms, and logically shouldn't make mistakes. How did this earthquake happen in advance
Ruan softened upon hearing Yuanbao's explanation and momentarily hesitated.
So the system can't absolutely guarantee its own safety, either
Since this task has no penalty, it's okay to not do it yourself, right
Ruan Rou ignored the Yuanbao and followed the crowd to an open space, listening to the sorrowful cries coming from the people around her.
I closed my eyes, and the restaurant owner and his wife's hopeful gazes swam before me. I struggled internally.asized it."Here you go, this is Yichen who was worried that you might be hungry, so he specially cut some fruit for you."Ruan Soft's face, which had just started to calm down, flushed again. But it wa...
